My Heart Lyrics
Down in the valley the sheperd sees
His flock is close at hand
And in the night sky a star is falling down
From someone's hand
Somewhere, somehwere,
I gotta get somewhere
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to get somewhere
This time I will take the lead somehow
This time you won't have to show me how
When dreams come crashing down like trees
I don't know what love can do
When life is hanging in the breeze
I don't know what love can do
My heart, my heart
I've got to keep my heart
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to keep my heart
My love, I will give to you, it's true
Although I'm not sure what love can do
Somehwere, somewhere
I've got to get somewhere
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to get somewhere
Somewhere someone has a dream come true
Somehow someone has a dream come true
His flock is close at hand
And in the night sky a star is falling down
From someone's hand
I gotta get somewhere
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to get somewhere
This time you won't have to show me how
I don't know what love can do
When life is hanging in the breeze
I don't know what love can do
I've got to keep my heart
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to keep my heart
Although I'm not sure what love can do
I've got to get somewhere
It's not too late, it's not too late
I've got to get somewhere
Somehow someone has a dream come true

This song came out about the time that my lover left me and I felt abandoned and alone. I knew that somehow I had to keep going. And I love the tack piano that Neil used for this song.
Kurt Cobain quoted Young in his suicide note ("It's better to burn out than to fade away"), and it allegedly struck Young hard with disappointment, anger, frustration, and sadness. Having lived most of my life being completely misunderstood, I still can only imagine the horror that such a "shout out" would do. Cobain seems to haunt the entire "Sleeps with Angels" album. This is one of the loveliest ballads of almost-dead hope (and resolution to find it even though it appears to be nowhere) that I’ve ever heard. Gorgeous track. Thank you, Neil.
